Overview:

Airborne troops had broken the German resistance at Carentan during the fighting on the 10th and 11th for the causeway into the city. Another attack on June 12th met only rearguard resistance, and Carentan was finally captured. The 506th advanced southwest of the city and dug in for the night. The next morning, Colonel Sink had the regiment attack westward, and to the surprise of the troops they met counterattacking armor and infantry elements of SS Panzergrenadier-Division 17 supporting their old nemesis, Fallschirmjager-Regiment 6.
Attacker: German (SS) (SS Panzergrenadier-Division 17, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6)
Defender: American (506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, A Battery, AA/AT Battalion, 101st Airborne Division)

2022-05-04(D) nathan wegener vs James Treu American winGermans flooded the woods. Bogged 2 Stugs... they got loose but cleared the bocage line where the ATG picked off the Marder and a Stug. 3rd Stug Immob and game over. This scenario seemed to be too dependent on a few rolls.
2021-06-26(D) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers German (SS) winConceded on turn 3 when the Gun crew broke. Without the Gun, the Americans cannot win.
2020-03-01(A) patrick palma vs John Garlic German (SS) win
2019-06-09(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Tyler, Randy German (SS) win
2019-04-27(D) Andy Goldin vs David Ready German (SS) winMy Americans managed to hold off the attacking Germans for a few turns until casualties began to mount. David's Germans then got a penetration on the American right flank by moving through the woods and successfully made for the exit. Highlights -- or lowlights -- were my 8-1 going berserk and convincing his squad to charge a nearby Stug and accompanying infantry. As you can imagine, that didn't end well. Oh, and then there's my AT gun which fired at an approaching Stug, missed, then intensive fired and... malf'd the gun. They didn't get a chance to repair it, since the Stug got a "K" result on it's overrun. I had a few 'snake eyes" but didn't have the good dice when I needed them. David played aggressively, took chances, and won. Depending on where the defender sets up the ATG, a German attack on the woods using the Marder to make a trail break seems to be the way to go.
